Can anyone tell me what the traffic's like on the A46 at the Whitley junction on workday mornings around 8am these days?

Depends which way you are coming from? Towards Leamington isn't too bad just small delays

Heading into Cov

Heading in to cov I would come off at the a45/cheylesmore junction and cut through cheylesmore.

That is the A45 under-pass. The A46 Whitley junction is due to be completed around June time from memory.

Thanks, I'll try that.
Hopefully it'll be a good run when they've finished.

Ohhh yes, roadworks just *everywhere* atm.

Tollbar's out, obviously, so been trying Whitley. Going out towards Warwick is... mixed. Some days it's easy, other days you sit there seething, although that's mainly the Binley Road.

The alternative is via Wolston and Ryton, but it seems everyone else has worked out that's how to avoid Tollbar, which has buggered me up a bit!
